The Elder Scrolls Online will be free to play this week from April 11 to April 18 on PS4, Xbox One, Mac and PC.

The free trial includes access to the full The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited base game and 500 Crowns for players to spend. To play for free, players simply need to download the game starting tomorrow after 7 a.m. PT/10 a.m. ET/3 p.m. UK on the PlayStation Store, Xbox Store or Steam page and create an account.

Any progress you make during the free trial, including any items you might have purchased, will be carried over when you buy the game at a special discounted rate during the week.

This free trial comes ahead of the next expansion for the game, The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind, which releases on June 6. The expansion will feature a new 4 vs. 4 vs. 4 PvP mode called Battlegrounds, as well as a new class and combat ally.
